Well, he's messed it up even more now, he's been caught playing with balls on the front lawn of his country mansion. Should he go or should he stay?. Perhaps some of you think he hasn't damaged the labour party enough yet, the affair, the keeping the house when he's doing sod all. now hes's playing croquet when the tony's away.
I think if the party is to have any chance of getting any credibility back, he has to go. I think he should have gone years ago when he punched that chicken farmer, the one with the eggs.
 
he shud've gone long ago...

like they say he's the labour "link" to its past. but we dont wanna be payin for labour to keep any links to anyone - thats their own business.

i was listening to desert island discs - a review of the david cameron one and they were really surprised at how his selection was most likely his own personal choice and not one based on what the spin folk thought wud b popular answers... like tony did.

gettin very sick of the labour govt for the sheer hypocrisy (sp?) thats going on at the moment. its one thing one day and then tmorrow its another answer and a new scandal
 
thing is who will replace him!!!!


maybe better to keep the devil you know

think most major politections in it for what they can get out of it for use after they been voted out
 
I bet the Tories don't want him to go. He's the best recruiting sergeant they've had for a long time. And he's supposed to be running the country this week while Tone 'n' Cherie take a well-deserved holiday. A frightening thought...

As for his successor, I see that Harriet Harman has said that it's "a necessity" that the next deputy PM should be a woman. Forgive me for being so frightfully sexist, but I would've thought it a necessity that the best person for the job gets the post, regardless of gender.

Labour's PC madness continues...
 
Can someone please explain to me in simple words that I can understand, what is wrong with someone playing croquet? Are people just looking for any pathetic excuse to poke at this man?

Glad you asked that question Neil, was on the tip of me fingers ... have I missed something here? Are politicians not allowed breaks in their working day ??

Wow, we agree on something Neil! :p It is difficult to put aside pressure from the papers when asked whether or not a politician should go. My first reaction after seeing Prescott splashed all over the front page was that the papers were well out of order.

Senior politicians do not work 9 'til 5. Often they are sifting through paperwork in the early hours of the morning or attending meetings during the evening so why should he not relax occasionally for a couple of hours day or night?

When will the papers stop trying to influence readers by printing junk stories - NEVER! Its up to the readers to properly consider the underlying message they are giving.
 
Well, the fact that he was playing croquet seems strange for a so-called champion of the working classes, but each to his own. For me it's the fact that he was playing it in the grounds of his grace and favour country house and what it represents. Rightly or wrongly, he was relieved of many of his responsibilities when his little daliance with his secretary was discovered. Various Labour politicians have rushed to his defence, assuring us that he still does plenty of work. The fact is, he has been demoted and, out in the real world, that would mean a corresponding decrease in salary. But not for our John, oh no...he's kept his large salary and also greedily clung on to all his perks including his various grace and favour properties, very much in the manner of the sort of rampant capitalist he professes to despise. "Do as I say, not as I do" as the old saying goes!
 
JP should go now and take the rest of the government with him before the people do it come the next general election. In fact he should have gone when he lost his departments.

But it won’t happen. JP will stay until he’s sacked and President TB (TB also stands for tuberculosis and look what that does to the host body) won’t sack him because it will be one sacking too many. In any case why get rid of a sycophant yes man when the replacement might just start to challenge the President’s self proclaimed authority? A replacement might even be a closet Brown supporter.

actualy i think he was %100 right to do that :D

the stupid sod probably thought he was safe throwing eggs at a polititian and to my great entertainment he was wrong :D

yes he should go but definatly not for thumping someone who deserved a thumping
 
He desserved to go just for thumping anyone, and I can't believe he stayed. If anyone desserved anything he desserved the egg, he's the most useless, over paid over rated pillock i've ever known, and will be the downfall to the labour party if he doesn't go. Not that I care, cos they're all the same, all a bunch of no good....

And I hate him for approving the vile aldi store that local labour supported for the working class people, but now don't want bought up, because it will put local family run business out of trade and will actually reduce choice not increase it. Our council reject it, he says no there's nothing wrong with it.

The croquet, he's supposed to be running the country, in london, and there he is on the lawn playing croquet, like he's the lord of the manor.

Plus He can't string a sentence together to save his career, he talks utter rubbish. Contradicts himself in one sentence.

And he's got two jags, and creates bus lanes on motorways with hardly any busses.

And he should be sacked for the affair, talk about fickle.

Perhaps theres more to jp and tb than meets the eye.
 
think most blokes when hit by a flying egg or anything else would snot the offender i certainly would.
 
I was also wondering what was wrong with playing croquet, its hardly newsworthy let alone a sackable offence. I dont like him much, but its now any excuse to have a go.

If someone attacked you you'd just walk away all eggy? I hope we are never invaded and have to rely on you to defend us all.;)

Belting that egg thrower was the only good thing Prescott has ever done.

He should go.

I read at the weekend that he has something on Blair, and that's why he got to keep all the privileges of office when he was sort of demoted.

This Government is begining to stink just as much as at the end of John Major's last days in power. Sadly though I don't see much of a viable opposition.
 
He should have been jailed for it, and he wasn't. That's where this countries problems are, the deputy prime minister gets an egg thrown at him, and most of this country seem to think thats a licence to go round punching people. No wonder there's so much violence, muggings, robbery. violence is condoned by top level politicians and most of the public when it suits. It's only if I walk up to you and punch you without you throwing an egg at me first,do you see it as wrong. Saturday night punch ups in accy are ok, I punched him cos he said my girl friends a slag, he desserved it.
It's absolutely pathetic to say that words or an egg could warrant a phyiscal attack.

Violence is violence. It's one of the worst crimes you can commit.

Prescot will go, the public and the party will make him go regardless of whether tonys been giving him jolly's
 
I will however defend myself, if cornered, but not if I don't need to, I'd rather walk away. If the country was invaded, I'd fight to the death, but I certainly wouldn't run up to the and punch them, that's not the way to win, especially if they have dangerous weapons such as fresh free range eggs.
